I think the title says it all. We've heard this story many times before but not always from authors. People created products as a solution to a problem. That's how most things get invented. Writing a book that you wanted to read isn't any different.
Not to give you the wrong impression. I've read a lot of fiction over there years that I loved, but it wasn't quite what I wanted. I wanted the combination of ruthless criminals that leaned toward gangsters, along with some dark humor and a strong sense of loyalty and connection. I wanted characters that didn't fit into the social norms and didn't care. I wanted books that opened people's eyes and made them question what was happening in the world. Nothing too light. Nothing too predictable. If I read a book and knew the ending well in advance once, it's happened at least a million times. Publishers are often short-sighted and prefer books to fit a mold to ensure sales. That's why I'm an indie author. My goals are vastly different.
Of course, I would love great book sales, but not because I wrote to cater to an audience and be a millionaire. I wanted to make a point. I hope to encourage critical thinking while being entertained. I wanted people to live through my characters. I've always written with integrity, not for sales.
I assumed that if I liked this kind of book, so would other people. As it turns out, I was right.
One of the most prevalent themes in my Hernandez series is the ongoing battle between protagonist Jorge Hernandez and his nemesis, Big Pharma. It's a fight unlikely to end anytime soon but will only grow as tension grows with each book.
The premise behind the Hernandez series is that Jorge was once a cartel leader in Mexico. Through a miracle, he never ended up in either prison or dead, but instead relocated to Canada to start a legit business. Once here, Jorge often is ranting how as a cartel boss, he was always running from the law, but Big Pharma is also responsible for people becoming addicts but can do so legally and have no repercussions. Also, he takes over the Canadian pot industry (House of Pot) only adds to the ongoing battle between the pharmaceutical industry and Jorge Hernandez.
Jorge is a respectable businessman to the public, but behind the scenes, he's part of an ongoing war with Big Pharma, and things often get bloody.
